Marylee White to run for Wyoming HD 22

(Wilson, Wyo.) - Marylee White, of Wilson, has announced her intention to
run on the Democratic ticket for the Wyoming legislature in House District
22, currently held by Marti Halverson of Etna. Marylee is out of the
country on a long-planned family trip, but has made arrangements to file
while she is away.
Marylee is a fourth generation Wyomingite and has lived in Wilson for many
years. She graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in
journalism and worked for the Jackson Hole News before it merged with the
Guide in 2002. Over the years, she has maintained her passion for writing
through her blog, “Bird Barometer,” which she received the Wyoming Art
Council’s Blanchan/Doubleday award for in 2015. After her work as a
journalist, Marylee was an administrator and teacher at a local pre-school
and served as Executive Director of the pARTner project, a school/community
partnership to enhance art in classrooms. She is currently the director of
the Old Wilson Community School.
Marylee is married to Charlie Thomas and they have two grown children, Yara
and Sawyer.
“I am confident that Marylee will run a great campaign upon her return in
early June”, said Nancy Carson, her friend and next door neighbor of many
years. “She is a strong, thoughtful woman who will do great work
representing Wyoming values in Cheyenne.”
Marylee is particularly concerned about keeping public lands in public
hands, and does not agree with the incumbent’s strident support for
transferring public lands to the States.
“Public lands are a part of Wyoming’s character and heritage,” said White.
“Anyone who enjoys using the public lands in Wyoming, whether for hiking,
camping, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling or anything else, should be
concerned too.”
